Topic: National Security Force

The Justice Department is investigating illegal leaks of national security information after The New York Times reported on a new Air Force One plane gifted to Donald Trump by Qatar. Four journalists were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury regarding the plane's alleged lack of defensive countermeasures and EMP protection. The administration's aggressive pursuit of leakers is compared to the Obama administration's treatment of reporter James Rosen.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine clarified that while NASA remains separate from defense, the proposed Space Force is essential for protecting critical infrastructure. He warned that the U.S. is dangerously dependent on GPS timing signals for banking, power grids, and telecommunications.

Physicist Michio Kaku appeared on Fox News to discuss the necessity of a U.S. Space Force, citing the extreme vulnerability of American satellites to preemptive strikes or EMP attacks. Kaku argued that the 1967 Outer Space Treaty is outdated and does not account for modern kinetic weapons or laser cannons.

The hosts argue that the National Rifle Association (NRA) is not a true ally to gun owners and may be working in concert with the government to create a national database of gun owners. They suggest that mental health records, specifically antidepressant prescriptions, will be used to disqualify citizens from firearm ownership. The segment concludes with a 2008 clip of Barack Obama calling for a "civilian national security force" as strong as the military.

The White House refused to release photos from a $300,000 Air Force One photo op over New York City, citing national security. Speculation arises that the flight was a "joyride" for political insiders and friends rather than a strictly professional mission. The lack of transparency regarding the event is contrasted with President Obama's earlier promises of an open administration.
